Cover Blurb:

Post-Perestroika has visited Russia and Tobias the Muscovite is out of work and looking for just about anything to make ends meet. He moves to a remote outpost in Vodka Valley, Siberia, where his duty is to guard a plot of land for oil and gas exploration by The Rusky Company. At first isolated, cold, lonely, and feeling alienated, he has gradually grown accustomed to and even accepted by this remote wilderness. Little does the young watchman know that at night he is sleeping above a buried secret more hostile than Siberia's weather. Just beneath the surface gurgles the mouth of Hell, waiting to be opened and spew forth. Privy to the secret, an unholy band under Asmodeus, demon leader of dark forces, and Ethagoria Nebsonia, master of the Siberian Vampires, have taken up residence in this land. Their influence has caused humans to change in Vodka Valley. People have become more strange, indifferent, envious, greedy, and violent towards one another. The Devil prowls Vodka Valley looking for the ruination of souls, and expects the dark legions to plan and wreak havoc on an apocalyptic scale. But, thanks to the local Russian Orthodox Church's resurrection from the ruins of the communist regime and the revival of spirituality, the Devil may not have the last word in Vodka Valley. "A chilling atmosphere with insane solitude." -Don Papo, Trash-Trucker "The monster-ravaged elements of this story should never feel that real, Michael does a wonderful job of making you forget that." -Charlie J.J. Kruger, Horror.punks.com "Keeps you reading till the final pages.." -Alex Roy, A Blog Of Horror "A satisfying and thought provoking horror story of the battle between the forces of hell and a reassurance of a populations spirituality." -Stuart Anderson, The Fifth Dimension

Siberian Hellhole By Author Michael Mulvihill – Book Review

“I found God where I least expected…”

A dark, atmospheric novel fans of Horror fiction can expect from author Michael Mulvihill. I found
it a nightmarish ride through an uneasy atmosphere, dealing, not only with the slow deterioration
of sanity in an apocalyptic existence, but the destructive and oppressive nature of isolation. It
almost makes the reader question whether the gift of immortality is worth what it truly entails or
should it be thrown in the face of its giver, without forethought.

“Loneliness is the core of all fear. You are left alone with yourself, and you are all alone.”

There weaves a great tale, combining, not only the essence of the surroundings, but the shadow
cast by the darkness of the mind of its characters.
From the author of Diabolis of Dublin, comes Siberian Hellhole. A claustrophobic and often
insightful study of the vampiric nature of its characters.

A warning:

“He just might be sent into territories of experience he had never planned on entering, and there

face a horror beyond comprehension.”

I enjoyed Siberian Hellhole by Michael Mulvihill, and award his book 4 stars.
